In 2004 after 14 years of research, the Great Southern Distilling Company was founded and commenced commercial production in 2005. Located on the edge of Princess Royal Harbour, the distillery takes advantage of Albany’s pristine water, clean air, abundance of local produce and cool marine climate.

In May 2008, the first flagship ‘Limeburners’ Single Malt Whisky was released. Not only was this recorded as an historic event because it was the first Single Malt Whisky ever distilled in Western Australia, but it also picked up a Bronze Medal at the prestigious International Wine & Spirits Competition in London. After selling out within the month, the distillery knew it was getting things right.

Message in a Bottle is a celebration of Australian whisky aged in a maritime environment. It is a whisky that speaks of the place it came, brim full of Australian barley, Mount Lofty spring water, South Australian tawny casks and Southern Ocean climate, the core elements of our terroir.

Limited to 460 hand-numbered bottles, 52.9% alc/vol, and available in 700ml bottles only. The nose is heavily influenced by the port casks, hints of cinnamon, soy sauce, soft citrus fruitiness and lingering barley sugar flavours mixed with a hint of vanilla ice cream at the end. Message in a Bottle is all about the balance of softness, texture, malty flavours and just the right amount of oak.

Golden amber in color. A flavorful whisky with intense fruit and spice.

Sweet, woody aromas and flavors of tropical fruits, toffee, vanilla custard, caramelized apples and dusty straw, tea with a chewy, vibrant, and fruity full body. Peppery spices, and oak spice finish. The palate is sweet initially, with notes of citrus fruits, clean wood and youthful maltiness. The stickiness from the wood finish then begins to unfold, chocolate coated almonds and burnt sugar before coming to a soft floral note and then you are left with a toffee note on the finish.
